I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

Chapter 106

When the army rushing back to Beijing from northern Xinjiang passed through the post station on the way, they happened to meet the flowers sent by the palace to northern Xinjiang.

The person who sent the flowers was overjoyed, and did not expect such a coincidence.After hearing what they were sending, Xue Yuan, who had no expression on his face, was taken aback. He quickly got off his horse and walked up to the flower delivery team step by step.

It took a little longer than Tian Fusheng thought to process the petals of thousands of plants. It was not until the end of January that these petals were packed in wooden boxes and sent to northern Xinjiang by the post station in a hurry.

The news of the two parties is different, one is going forward, the other is rushing back, if they don't meet in front of the station, I'm afraid they will really miss it!

Mr. Xue also wore gloves woven from duck down by the people of northern Xinjiang. The thick benzene gloves were put on his hands, but his fingers, which were slightly longer than ordinary people, gave them a slender shape.

The duck down lightly caressed the wooden box, Xue Yuan fixed his eyes on the top, "Is this a gift from the Holy Majesty?"

The post station official said: "Yes. The petals in this wooden box are all famous flowers picked and dried by the Holy One. The plants are highly respected and worth tens of thousands of gold. It took [-] days to process them into what they are today. .”

Xue Yuan's fingers touched the lock from the edge of the wooden box, and with a click, the wooden box was lifted by him.

The quiet floral fragrance floats with the breeze, and the petals of various colors are still gorgeous and soft.Xue Yuan took off his gloves, picked up one of them, looked at it, and smiled, "Famous Flower, have you been contaminated with the blessings of the Holy Majesty?"

The closer he was to the capital, the more he couldn't suppress the nature of a bandit and hooligan in Xue Yuan's heart. He wanted to say nasty things to Gu Yuanbai, and wanted to do something bad to him.

One bad idea after another, endless thoughts that are just around the corner.

After the post station official said no, Xue Yuan smiled, put the petals in his hand into his mouth, sucked and turned the petals with the tip of his tongue, and then moved his Adam's apple and swallowed.

Mouth is full of flowers.

He wiped off the pattern left on his fingertips, closed the wooden box, picked up the wooden box and turned to leave, his cloak flew up, and he got on the horse neatly.

This wooden box filled with thousands of famous flowers was not small, and it had already covered Xue Yuan's lower abdomen when it was placed across the horse's back.The post station official asked: "Master Xue, why don't you send it back to you if you get off the job?"

"No." As the reins were lifted, a large number of soldiers and horses rushed out following Xue Yuan.He snorted and said in a low voice, "I have to take it with me. When I get to the capital, I have to find a way to scatter these dried flowers in the pond of the Holy One."

I ate them one by one.

More than ten days later, when it was cold and chilly, the soldiers from Northern Xinjiang returned to Beijing.

After the news came, Xue's mansion sent a servant to wait at the city gate every day. The eldest son left the mansion in September, and five months have passed since now. Mrs. Xue missed him, and Mrs. Xue also missed him, because the mansion lacked The capable male master and the worried servants also waited for him with joy and anticipation.

But as soon as the eldest son of the Xue family returned to the capital, the first thing he did was go straight to the palace, walking hurriedly, and asked the palace attendant who was leading the way: "Has your majesty been sick these days?"

"Your Majesty has suffered from the cold a few days ago," the palace attendant picked up a few words without taboo, "but this year there are kang beds everywhere, and Your Majesty will be fine after resting for a few days."

"Kang bed?" Xue Yuan read it again, "What is this?"

"Your Excellency Xue should not know, this is something that the Holy Majesty sent someone to make this year," said the palace attendant with a smile, "It looks like a real bed on the outside, with a hole in the middle. It looks like a stove is baking under you every day. The heat is not extinguished, but it can also warm the whole room, and the Holy Majesty will rarely feel cold this year."

Xue Yuan smiled perfunctorily, "Really?"

He seemed to inadvertently ask: "Does the Holy One like this thing?"

"I like it. My Majesty's body is cold, and I can sleep well after having a kang bed. How can I not like it?"

Xue Yuan smiled and said hello.

The Xuanzheng Palace was right in front of him, and Xue Yuan quickened his pace unknowingly.The palace servants around him started to trot, and the general who followed behind reminded him in a low voice: "General, slow down."

Xue Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

However, he was still getting faster and faster, and the sound of heavy boots hitting the ground was loud. Gu Yuanbai seemed to be aware of it in the Xuanzheng Hall, and raised his head to look outside the hall.

As Xue Yuan approached, he saw his raised glance.

Stop breathing.

The Holy Majesty was wearing bright yellow uniform, and the palace was warm, but he had never put on a coat. The bright color lined his face, and the vitality was more vigorous than the spring sunshine.

Her black hair was bundled up, her jade crown was moist, her lips seemed to be smiling, her fingers were pinching the memorial, her eyes were full of spirit, and her black eyes were far away, looking at herself in the dusty world.

Xue Yuan seemed to be hit by a thunderbolt, his whole body was numb, he just stood there, staring blankly at the little emperor.

The generals behind followed him panting. They straightened their robes quickly and pushed Xue Yuan down: "General, face saint."

The little eunuch in the hall just finished reporting with the Holy Majesty, he glanced at Xue Yuan with a suppressed smile, and said loudly: "Please come in, all generals."

Xue Yuan came back to his senses, he took the lead and walked in, and saluted the Holy Majesty together with the generals behind him.

Gu Yuanbai raised his lips, very gentle.He was offered a seat, served tea, and discussed frontier matters with the generals.

Xue Yuan didn't say a word, he seemed to be extremely thirsty, and he drank cups of tea.Then borrowed the movement of drinking tea, and peeked at the Holy Majesty under the cover of the sleeve robe.

He did it too secretly, and no one discovered Master Xue's actions.It's just ridiculing in my heart: Mr. Xue drank so much tea, wouldn't it be embarrassing if someone was in a hurry?

Gu Yuanbai also took a sip of tea, and suddenly felt a hot gaze between his lips, he moved leisurely, and looked up at Xue Yuan.

Xue Yuan was lowering his head, the hot tea mist covered the expression between his brows and eyes, and covered the corners of his lips where there seemed to be no smile.

As if sensing His Majesty's gaze, Xue Yuan raised his eyelids and smiled at His Majesty.

Gu Yuanbai didn't see anything from him, so he calmly moved his eyes away.

Although the Holy Majesty stayed in the capital, he knew everything about northern Xinjiang by heart.The generals were talking to him about the death of the Khitan leader, saying: "It was too coincidental when he died of illness. He was ill for a long time and could survive for several years, but now he died suddenly when the tribes were preparing to unite. The leader's son, Yeluzheng, believed that his father must have been murdered by a traitor."

The Holy Majesty nodded, and after speaking with them for a while, he looked at the tired faces on everyone's faces and said with a smile: "Everyone traveled a long distance back to Beijing, and should have rested for a day before returning to me. Today, I am in a hurry, and I am inevitably tired. Difficulty. Now go back to the residence as early as possible to rest, and come back tomorrow to talk to me about the northern Xinjiang after recovering enough energy."

Everyone didn't refuse, because they were really tired, especially with General Xue's desperate way of traveling, they hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

Everyone retreated one by one, Gu Yuanbai turned over a page of the memorial, and said casually: "General Xue stays."

Xue Yuan stayed behind.

It was very warm in the palace, but after a while, Xue Yuan broke out in hot sweat.He got up and asked respectfully: "My lord, can I take off my robe?"

Before the audience, the weapons and armor on their bodies had been taken off by the palace servants. Gu Yuanbai looked at the sweat on his forehead, and said with a slight smile, "No."

Xue Yuan chuckled twice, "Yes."

The Holy Majesty kept him, but he didn't say why.Xue Yuan stood upright, with his back slightly bent, occasionally raising his eyes, as if he hadn't intended to pass by Sheng Shang.

The eyes that were as long as a feather fan swayed, casting a fine shadow under the eyes.

The little emperor's neck, face and slender hands were rendered transparently white by the swimming dragon pattern.

The more I watched, the more enthusiastic I felt, and I started to feel anxious.

Just stood at this station for an hour and a half, and when the sky outside turned from bright to dark, Gu Yuanbai closed the memorial and rubbed his wrists. After seeing Xue Yuan, he said in amazement whether it was true or not: " Why is Xue Qing still here?"

Xue Yuan grinned, and said on his own initiative: "Without an order from the Holy Majesty, I dare not leave."

"Then go out with me for a walk," Gu Yuanbai stood up, walked outside the hall, and said casually, "Xue Jiuyao, long time no see, how are you doing?"

Xue Yuan was a little flattered, and he followed closely behind the Holy Majesty, "Everything is fine, but I miss the Holy Majesty a lot."

Gu Yuanbai smiled and didn't take it seriously, "When you came back from Northern Xinjiang, was there still snowflakes flying there?"

"Yes, why not," Xue Yuan recalled, "When I came here, the sky was full of snow and snow, and the snow turned into water. No matter how fast the strong wind ran, it couldn't fall faster than it fell. There is a layer of white snow on the top of the head, as if the hair turned white overnight."

Gu Yuanbai listened for a while, then nodded and said, "It has also snowed in the capital, but after all, it cannot compare to the ferocity of northern Xinjiang."

Xue Yuan: "I am very happy with this."

Hearing this, Gu Yuanbai tilted his head and smiled towards Xue Yuan, with meaningful eyes.But Xue Yuan was only fascinated by his smile, and his brilliance and martial arts disappeared immediately. He stayed in the army for five months, and at this moment, his mouth was full of nasty words.

He smacked his lips, licked off the dried skin on his lips, pretended to have stepped on a stone inadvertently, took a step forward, held the hand of the Holy Majesty, and hurriedly hugged the Holy Majesty's waist.

In a flash, Gu Yuanbai felt a black shadow approaching, his waist tightened, and the next second Xue Yuan was two steps away from him, bowing down to apologize.

Gu Yuanbai: "..."

He paused for a moment, but instead of showing an angry expression, he smiled gently at Xue Yuan.

This smile was so gentle that Xue Yuan's eyelids twitched.

The two of them walked around outside and came back, and the dinner was already served.

Xue Yuan was left to eat in the palace, but what was placed in front of him was not an exquisite and delicious meal, but an exquisite wooden box that could be held in both hands.

The box is engraved with high mountains and flowing water, and the tree has five carambola.

Xue Yuan opened it, and inside was the set of jade postures he had hidden under the bed.

The palace waiter next to Gu Yuanbai brought up the silver chopsticks, the Holy Master wiped them with clean hands, took the silver chopsticks, smiled softly, and said, "Since Xue Qing likes this thing, let's eat with the chopsticks."

Xue Yuan stared at Yushi and said, "Your Majesty, even if I have iron teeth and copper teeth, I can't bite a piece of jade."

"No hurry." The Holy One smiled gently, looking at Xue Yuan with soft eyes, "Eat slowly."

Xue Yuan picked up the chopsticks and probed: "Did the Holy Majesty not read the letter from the minister?"

"Xue Qing has a brilliant literary talent," Gu Yuanbai said slowly, "After reading your letter, I know what this thing is and what it is for. Sure enough, what Chang Yu said is true, and Xue Qing is not a person based on appearances."

Xue Yuan's eyelids twitched, and he raised his head to look at Gu Yuanbai in astonishment, "Isn't it because of this thing that the Holy Majesty is angry with me?"

Gu Yuanbai raised his eyebrows, "How do you say that?"

Something was wrong in Xue Yuan's heart. He thought about the matter back and forth, and he always felt that something was wrong. Since the Holy Majesty didn't know about Yushi before, then, "I received the letter from the Holy Majesty in northern Xinjiang."

"It has nothing to do with this matter." As soon as Xue Yuan finished speaking, Gu Yuanbai immediately picked up, "I was going to forget about this at first, but I was reminded of it by a letter from Xue Qing. I'm sorry. Xue Qing's blessing. Xue Qing, don't eat or sleep, let's eat."

Lao Tzu killed himself?

Xue Yuan's expression changed back and forth, and while holding the jade in the wooden box, he thought, how could he be so stupid.

But in the letter, he used thousands of words to write the results of his practice, and he wanted to touch it when he saw it. Did the Holy One not be distracted after reading it?

In order to be able to serve the emperor with beauty, Xue Yuan really put in a lot of effort.

His expression was so exciting, Gu Yuanbai didn't know what was going on in his mind, he just thought that he was insulted and he didn't want to "eat" Yushi.Gu Yuanbai took a bite of the dish, chewed slowly, propped his arms on the table, and looked at him with his face sideways as if he was watching a play.

The palace servants in the palace were silent, did not make a sound, all lowered their heads, and did not look at the table.

Even Tian Fusheng watched Xue Yuan's actions as if he didn't see Xue Yuan's movements.

It is really embarrassing for a pair of polished silver chopsticks to try to hold a more round and heavy jade piece.

Xue Yuan pinched it several times but it still didn't come out, only the pleasant sound like a musical instrument when the two collided.After the sound rang for a long time, the Holy One finally got up, walked behind Xue Yuan, bent over with open arms, and stretched out his hand from beside his ear, accompanied by bursts of aloes, and his robe enveloped Xue Yuan.

The ten fingertips are like bamboo shoots, and the wrists are like white lotus roots.

The joints of these hands are distinct, although they are slender, there are definitely a lot of veins and undulations on the back of the hands, and the veins are clear, like a painter with the most advanced painting skills, trying his best to draw a superb painting in his life.

The royal fragrance from the Holy Majesty's body came. This kind of fragrance is mixed with agarwood, sandalwood, dipterocarp and musk. After precipitation, there is only dignity and imperial majesty that permeates the hearts of the people.

Gu Yuanbai's hand slid across the jade pieces in the wooden box one by one, tapped each piece of jade lightly with his fingertips, and asked with a smile in Xue Yuan's ear: "Xue Qing, tell me, you usually Which one do you like to use the most?"

The Holy Majesty hugged Xue Yuan in his arms, and spoke softly without losing his firmness and strength.

Xue Yuan suddenly felt weird.

His Majesty's attitude towards him seemed to soften suddenly, and he seemed to add a bit of the frivolity and flirtatiousness of a strong man towards his other half.

Such frivolity, although subtle, was still keenly captured by Xue Yuan, as if Xue Yuan had become the one who was invaded and robbed by the Holy One.

Xue Yuan was silent for a while, unable to think of a reason, so he told the truth, pointing to a Yushi about the same size as the Holy One, which he usually likes to practice most, "This one."

Gu Yuanbai slowly picked up the jade gesture, and casually touched the jade gesture a few times with his pampered fingers. The white hand matched the white jade. This scene directly made Xue Yuan's eyes warm and his heart agitated.

Gu Yuanbai laughed a few times, picked it up and approached Xue Yuan, and said in a leisurely manner: "Don't worry, I will feed you."
